Figure 1. Contrast-enhanced CT examination. Contrast-enhanced CT
examination revealed a tumor (arrow) with a major axis of about 30 mm in
the left adrenal gland.
Figure 2. MRI image of the adrenal lesion. MRI showed mild
hyperintensity in the ”in phase” (a) and decreased signal in the ”out of
phase” (b), suggesting adrenocortical adenoma (arrow).
Figure 3. Changes in serum transaminase and HCV RNA levels. All showed
rapid improvement by administration of direct acting antivirals. ALT:
alanine aminotransferase, AST: aspartate transaminase, HCV RNA:
hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid.
Figure 4. Pathological findings of tissues obtained by percutaneous
liver biopsy. Infiltration of inflammatory cells, which was mostly
composed of lymphocytes and plasma cells and a small number of
neutrophils, was observed mainly in the portal vein area. This was
accompanied by fibrous enlargement and interface hepatitis. Although the
arrangement of hepatocytes was maintained in the hepatic lobule, spotty
necrosis was observed in some parts. No clear fat deposits were found in
the hepatocytes, and NASH or NAFLD was a negative finding. According to
the new Inuyama classification, hepatitis equivalent to A2-3 / F1-2 was
considered. (a; x100, b; x200, scale bar=500µm)
